Outperforming The Competition

The hallmark feature that separates the Pilatus PC-12 NG from the rest of the competition is its immense versatility.

The PC-12 has the capability to land on multi terrain and shorter runways (as short as 2500 ft.) unlike other small and mid-sized jets which require at least 1500 ft. more if not 2500 ft. more. This advantage alone gives LIVT’s Members Access to over 2000 more airports in the Domestic US. LIVT’s Suburban in the Sky PC-12 can do this while easily carrying 8-9 passengers, with baggage. The Pilatus PC12 can do this while getting You closer to Your destination, faster,

Powerplant: The Power of Proven is Trust

In a single-engine aircraft, the most critical component is a reliable engine. Fortunately, the PC-12 NGX is equipped with the newest version of the most reliable aircraft powerplant ever produced, Pratt & Whitney Canada’s PT6. With over 60,000 engines in service, and more than 400 million hours in the air, the PT6 engine family has a track record second to none. In more than seven million flight hours on the PC-12, the PT6 engine has been instrumental in the aircraft earning a safety record that is actually better than the world’s fleet of twin-engine business jet aircraft. We’re so confident in this newest addition to the family, the PT6 E-Series™ engine, that we’ve even extended the overhaul period to 5,000 hours in the PC-12 NGX. When it comes to single-engine aircraft, it’s a must to trust the proven leaders

Electronic Propeller and Engine Control System

Pilots love control, and the PC-12 incorporates the first dual-channel integrated Electronic Propeller and Engine Control System and digital autothrottle in this class of aircraft. The integrated Electronic Propeller and Engine Control System allows precise engine control, constantly monitoring temperature and torque to optimise power at every flight condition. You can even select a propeller low speed mode for reduced cabin and over-flight noise. The new single-lever power control with flight phase detents reduces pilot workload and ensures there is never a costly engine exceedance. With the PT6E-67XP’s latest generation turbine design delivering more power, we were even able to increase the PC-12 NGX’s cruise speed to 290 knots (537 kilometres per hour). More control. More performance. Less effort. Welcome to Pilatus Class.

11,600 vs. 21,300 airports

Pilots of twin turboprops and business jets would be justifiably proud of their ability to safely operate from a small airport with a runway of only 3,500 feet (1,067 metres). Business aviation is all about getting to places you can’t access on an airliner, and there are more than 11,600 paved runways around the world that are 3,500 feet (1,067 metres) or longer. But the PC-12 is not like other business aircraft. At maximum gross weight, it needs just 2,485 feet (758 metres) of runway and can also operate on grass, gravel and dirt. This extra level of performance opens up your world of possible destinations to more than 21,300 runways.

Baggage is hard to carry, let us carry it for you. 

Big things should be expected from such a big door. The PC-12 is the only single-engine turboprop to provide a pallet-sized cargo door as standard. The PC-12 features an impressive heated and pressurised cargo space that takes advantage of the flat floor architecture within, allowing a multitude of uses. And, with a forward lavatory, baggage space is never compromised. Pilatus pilots like to boast, “if it fits, it flies”. So, when packing for your next trip in the PC-12 NGX, you won’t have to choose between which pair of shoes to bring. Bring them all. You may even decide to bring your favourite surfboard, motor bike, or mountain bike. Yes, we’ve carried them all, and so can you in the PC-12

State-of-the-art Technology 

Fastidious and dedicated, many second and third generation Pilatus employees focus on constructing the very best aircraft through a merging of state-of-the-art technology and traditional Swiss craftsmanship to achieve the highest standard for precision and quality. While hand-crafted processes are critical in the production of numerous components and final fitment, Pilatus also employs a vast array of automated milling machines, robotic parts distribution systems, the latest riveting tools, and an advanced composite production capability. It’s the perfect blend of art and science to ensure that we produce the finest aircraft for the most demanding and discerning aviators.

Why We Fly The Pilatus PC-12

Safety and Benefits

Don’t just take our word for it. Independent analyses compiled from government safety statistics tell an even more compelling story. The table below, published annually by Robert E. Breiling Associates, Inc., presents a summary of accident data by model and type of aircraft. The numbers clearly indicate that the single-engine turboprop fleet has actually established a lower accident rate than that of the twin -engine turboprop fleet of aircraft. As a result of careful design, robust construction, rigorous training, and continuous focus on safety, the Pilatus PC-12 fleet has even earned a record that is statistically equivalent to the fleet of all U.S. business jets.

Putting our Reputation Where our Mouth is​

Single-engine aircraft are safer than we’ve been led to believe. In fact, when safety statistics from the last twenty years are examined closely and objectively, we discover something most pilots already know: in some situations, a twin can actually be more challenging to handle safely than a single. Once this misperception is corrected, the real advantages of single-engine performance and economy become too compelling to ignore. This booklet will explain how singles were saddled with an unsafe reputation, reveal the truth behind the hype, and show you where the Pilatus PC-12 fits in. So, relax your right brain, rev up your left, and find out why it’s sweet to be single.

Breakthrough

The PC-12 is a breakthrough airplane. Its size for the purchase price and low fuel flow are propelling demand, but the fact that it has only one engine is mattering less and less, to more and more people, is indeed a big change. Pilots were, naturally enough, the first to know the facts and trade the tiny risk of a forced landing for the many cost efficiency benefits of a single, but now nonpilots are making the same decision. If there was ever any doubt, size does matter, and it’s the size of the cabin, not the number of engines, that matters most to many single-engine turboprop fleet has actually established a lower accident rate than that of the twin -engine turboprop fleet of aircraft.
